The thermocouple is an sesnsing device , when the temperature increases it increases the voltage , that voltage is used for tripping purpose
YesYou should be careful with power cables nearby and make sure they are shieldedwww.peaksensors.co.uk
You must use thermocouple wire (of the same type as the thermocouple) to extend the circuit. If you switch to a different wire the point of connection between the two becomes a thermocouple junction itself, and the resulting voltage from that junction will skew your reading. You can use any wire to extend a thermocouple connection if you know the temperature of the junction where the thermocouple wire ends--this becomes the reference junction.
The output of the thermocouple is linear.
No If you want to maintain reasonable accuracy you must use the correct type of compensating or extension cable to match the sensor. The accuracy of the system depends on all system components. The output is generated when the wires are in thermal gradients, so if there is any thermal gradient across the compensating/extension cable you will get errors if you do not use the correct type www.peaksensors.co.uk
The thermocouple which measured the car's coolant temperature failed and so the car overheated.

Yes, thermocouple is used in fridges !
To create a thermocouple one needs thermocouple wire, a means of spot welding the wire, and wire strippers. A thermocouple is used to measure temperature.
The thermocouple keeps a gas pilot light burning.
is a thermocouple an active or passive transducer?-why?
You should not paint a thermocouple.
not much, but it will depend on the type of thermocouple
Yes, it's an active transducer. A thermocouple is passive not active

The thermocouple is a sensore used to measure temperature. The thermocouple are made with two wires of different metals. joined together at one end to from a junction the thermocouple outputs in a a Milli volts .
